Native American students and those in the Native American Studies program are eligible for a one-week paid assistantship serving as mentors and guides in this community outreach program. The program, presently organized with the assistance of the Title IX coordinator in the Syracuse school district and the North American Indian Project (NAIP), is designed to acquaint youths with college life and expand their future goals to include attending college. The program invites Native American Students from area middle schools and senior high schools to the Colgate campus for a one-week program of classes taught by Colgate faculty and visiting Iroquois specialists.
